Type Selection on Save

You can save an object of a CAD type in any one of the ENOVIA types to which it is mapped, when one CAD type is mapped to multiple ENOVIA types in the Solid Edge GCO which is assigned to you.

You can select the type for save using the Save dialog and it is only possible for designs that have the status as "NEW" or "MODIFIED_TYPECHANGE". When one CAD type is mapped to multiple ENOVIA types in the SolidEdgeInteg-GlobalConfig Object which is assigned to the user, to select an ENOVIA type for Save.

  1. In the Save dialog box, right-click a design node and select Type Selection.

    Multiple nodes can also be selected. Nodes of different CAD types can be selected, provided, the corresponding CAD types have been mapped to multiple ENOVIA types in the Solid Edge GCO that is assigned to the user.

    Type Selection command is disabled for objects of CAD types for which multiple ENOVIA types are not mapped in the Solid Edge GCO which is assigned to the user.

    The 3DEXPERIENCE Type Selection dialog box appears

    All objects which have been selected for type selection are listed on this dialog. On this dialog, the "Choose Type" list is not populated unless an object is selected.

  2. Select an object for type selection.

    Only such objects which have the same CAD type as the selected object can be selected for type selection. The objects with different CAD type other than the selected object remain unavailable for selection. To make the other objects available, clear the selection of the object.

    The Choose Type list is populated with ENOVIA types that have been mapped to the CAD type the selected object belongs.
  3. Select the objects from the list for type selection.

    You can assign different ENOVIA types for objects with the same CAD type. In such cases, you should select the objects separately.

  4. Select the required type from the Choose Type list.

    The Type column for the selected object reflects the value of the selected type.

    After selecting the option from the Choose Type list, the selected node appears in bold.

    In a similar manner, you may change the ENOVIA type for the objects listed on the Type Selection dialog by selecting them and then choosing the desired ENOVIA type.
  5. Complete the Type Selection for the required objects and click OK.

The Save dialog refreshes and the specified ENOVIA types are applied to the selected objects.
